fixed/monthly miles + diesel/MPG + maintenance + tires + toll reserve

Keep fuel separate when you want to test diesel price swings without rebuilding the whole cost sheet.

How to use the result

1

Update monthly miles first. That changes the fixed-cost spread more than most drivers expect.

2

Enter fuel from the lane you are actually running, not a stale average.

3

Use the final cost per mile as the floor for break-even and loaded-rate checks.
